The Saxon Palace (Polish: pałac Saski w Warszawie) was, before World War II, one of the most distinctive buildings in Warsaw, Poland. After the suppression of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, the palace was destroyed by German armed forces as part of their deliberate destruction of Warsaw.
After the Polish government announced plans to reconstruct the building, ground work commenced in August 2022. Rebuilding is expected to be completed by 2030.[3]
